37*1 or 1*37 or 6*6.
6+6 = 12 E is the answer
6+6 = 12 E is the answer

Best way to move foreward is to factorize 36.
36 = 2*18 sum 18+2=20
36 = 3*12 sum 18+2=15
36 = 6*6 sum 6+6=12.
Hence 12 is the minimum possible sum.
36 = 2*18 sum 18+2=20
36 = 3*12 sum 18+2=15
36 = 6*6 sum 6+6=12.
Hence 12 is the minimum possible sum.
